member of the lodges of Masons and Odd :

Fellows here, and delegations from these I lodges and friends among the Ellsworth captains accompanied the remains to the >

cemetery Thursday. Word was received last week that Har- |

old H. Clark, an Ellsworth boy, who has held the position of electrical expert aid in the bureau of yards and docks of the navy department at Washington, has been tranferred to the department of the in- terior. He has been appointed electrical

engineer in the technological branch of the geological survey, with headquarters at Pittaburgh, Pa., where he will have charge of the newly-planned investiga- tions as to the safety of electrical appara- tus in mines. This is an entirely new de-

parture for the technological branch, and Mr. Clark is the tirst man to undertake thia line of work for the government, the electrical investigations being a new

thing. J. T. Giles and Dr. A. C. Hagerthy, of

Ellsworth, and Dr. Rnfna E. Hagerthy, of Sedgwick, have purchased a large tract of timberland and mill property in Pokiok, N. B. The sale was made through Colon F. Davis, of Newport, formerly of Ells- wortn. There are 26,000 acres of timber- land in the tract. The mill property con-

sists of a mill with rotary and gang saws, lath and shingle machines, sash, blind and door machinery, etc., half a

> dozen dwellings, farm, water power, etc. The purchase price of |40,000, does not in- clude the lumber cut this winter, on

which the purchasers have secured an

option. The Ellsworth purchasers will probably operate the property themselves, but they may sell stumpage.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

The School Census of 1908 Receives the Attention of the Committee.

Ellsworth, March 12, 1909. A special meeting of the school board

was held in the aldermen’s room on Fri- day afternoon, the above date at 2 p. rn.

Chairman W. H. Titos presiding. Mem- ber L Giles v.as present, but Mr.

Mavis, tbe ether member, was absent on

account of illness. Kis honor Mayor Siraonton appeared

before the board and referred to a letter

| received by him from Hon. John A. Peters in which reference was made to a letter sent by John A. Scott (ex-superintendent

; of schools and now assistant in the high school) to tbe committee on claims and accunts of the State legislature, in which

J Mr. Scott made grave charges against the I city government on account of the special | census that was taken last July. I The school board called John F. Hoyal ana J. II. Bresnahan into consultation, and after considering th* matter made

i rec >rd of the following statement:

j The attention of ihe school board having j been called to a letter v\ ritten by ex-Superin-

t ndent-f f Schools John A. Scott to the coin- mitt.ee on claims of the Maine legislature in

! regard to a resolve pending in the legislature I for increased school money owing to an error

in the school census of 190M, in*which letter Mr. Scott charges that the second census ou which said claim was based was "not iu good faith, aud that the whole thing was founded on fraud aud was f >r the purpose of getting so much money out of the State without any foundation", the school board finds the facts to the best of its belief to be as follows:

The school census of l'JO# taken by Mr. Scott having shown an abnormal decrease in the number of children of school age as compared with the years immediately preceding. Mayor Hiraonton engaged John F. Royal to take a special census.

Mr. Royal, who appears before the board, states tha' the census taken by him was care- fully and accurately taken by house to house canvass, nnd to the best of hi* belief was a correct enumeration of the children of school age when the census was taken.

Iu the belief of the committee Mr. Scott’s charges are animated by spite at his not being elected superintendent of schools.

That if tbe charges were true Mr. Scott, is himself discredited by the fact that if he honestly believed the second census to have been falsified, he remained silent until de- prived of office.

That in the opinion of the members of the board present at this meeting the charges made by Mr. Scott are unwarranted, aud his charge, intimating fraud on the part of the mayor or city government, under whose direction the special census was taken, is un-

true and especially unbecoming in an em- ployee of the city. It is therefore

Voted, That Mr. Scott be requested to re- tract immediately the charge of fraud made in his letter to tne legislative committee on claims in another letter to that committee, or to consider himself dismissed as a teacher in the high school, said dismissal to take effect at the end of the present term.

Voted, That the superintendent communi- cate to Mr. Bcott a copy of the foregoing vote.

Voted to adjourn. P. A. A. Killam, Secretary.

Id connection with the discussion of the school census of 1908 the following com-

parative statement of school census and enrollment in Ellsworth from 1897 to 1908, inclusive, from State school reports, with polls for same years for further compari- son, i9 of interest:

§; CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

Grayir Matting Topic For tho Wwk Boginning March 21, 1909.

By REV. 8. H. DOYLE.

Topic.—"Pilgrim’s Progress" series.—III. Yhe wicket gate.—Matt, vii, 1-114.

This portion of Bunyan’s book car-

lies us from the Slough of Despond through the wicket gate to the house «f Interpreter. After Pliable had re-

turned to his house and Help had Bfted Christian from the Slough of

Despond and conversed with him somewhat Christian walked solitarily toward the wicket gate.

Straight was the gate and narrow

the way to it, and Christian should 'have followed in the narrow way to-

ward the gate. But instead he was

deflected for a time from his course.

On his way he soon met Mr. Worldly (Wiseman, who dwelt in the town of Carnal Policy, which was near by the City of Destruction. He had heard Of Christian, and he re< ognixed him, •specially by tbe burden on his back. They entered into conversation, and Worldly Wiseman tried to persuade him to return to his home and pointed But the dangers on the way to the City •f Destruction. He even claimed to

know how he might get rid of his

harden. Christian confessed to him that it was his great desire to be rid Bf the burden. Worldly Wiseman then directed him to the village of Morality, | Where dwelt one named legality, Christian was loath to leave his path- way. but was finally persuaded to do •o by Worldly Wiseman and started !

to it and must needs go over a hill to

reach it, and as he approached the hill it seemed so high, its sides to

lean over, and his burden grew heavier, so that he was greatly per- plexed.

la the journey or the t nrisnan lire

almost every Christian must meet the \(ypes here represented in Mr. Worldly Wiseman of Carnal Policy and Le- gality of Morality. One urges him to take life easy and to enjoy the world, and as "the children of evil are wiser than the children of light,” •o far as this world is concerned, the

argument used is usually a strong one

and hard to resist. Worldly Wiseman

■eems respectable and prosperous, and bis voice is very presuasive. and he leads many astray. But we should stand out against him. "for we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are tem-

poral, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Mr. Legality of the town of Morality is also a dangerous enemy of the soul. His advice is that

through our personal righteousness we

may be saved. There are many moral- ists and legalists. They depend upon their own uprightness for salvation and eternal life. But this is a false basis for salvation. God tried the law, but man did not and now cannot keep the laws perfectly, and hence cannot thus be saved. “But what the law could not do • • * God has done through His Son**—that is. pro- vided for salvation and entrance into the City of Zion. The folly of leaving the narrow way through the advice Of Worldly Wiseman to visit Mr. Legality was well represented l>y Christian, and we should profit by his example.

In Christian s perplexity Evangelist appeared again and. hearing his story, warned him cf bis danger and start- ed him on his way to the wicket gate. Here he was received by Mr. Good Will, who. after hearing of his expe- riences, started him forward again. The gate is Christ Himself, through whom we enter into the gracious ac-

ceptance of God and fioally into the kingdom. "I am the door. By Me if any man enter in he shall be saved.”

“Oh, Tasts and 8 so.” Bev. Henry W. Hunter. Christian

Endeavor superintendent of Missouri for the Christian church, relates the following pointed anecdote. The boy Is Pani Alexander, and be lives in Paris. Mo.

This boy when six years of age had a recitation to give before a teachers' Institute, entitled “Grandma’s Cooky Jar.” In learning the piece he said to his instructor. “Ill say it so they will taste cookies." A gentleman said after the performance, “That boy made me hungry”

“My brother Christian.” adds Mr. Hunter, “let us so live Christ that men

may want to 'taste' of Him and His goodness. Make the world aronnd ns

'hungry' to live His life nnd pattern after Ills ideals.” This Is the way we should talk in our Christian Endeavor prayer meetings.

Dallas Wants 1S11 Convention. Dallas. Tex., is going to leave no

■tone unturned to get the international Christian Endeavor convention of 1911. Eighty-three of the workers met at a

banquet lately to discuss plans for this purpose, and similar meetings are to follow. A special train or two will carry Dallas and Texas workers to St. Pan), nnd if hard work and hus- tling can attract a convention to their state it is likely to “go.” At the ban- quet several fine addresses were given, nnd an enjoyable evening was spent

The Extension Campaign. The Christian Endeavor societies

have started on a fivefold campaign to cover Christian Endeavor extension —missionary activities in meetings, ■tody classes and giving: evangelistic endeavor for training personal work- ces, Christian citizenship and temper- ance and a publicity campaign to In- rasas the circulation of religious pa-

pers and missionary publication*.

I know not the way all beforefme. The joya or the grief it shall bring,

Wbat clouds are o’erhanging the future, Wbat flowers by the roadside shall spring;

But there’s One who will journey beside me.

Nor in weal, or in woe will forsake; Ami this is my solacc>nd comfort,

I stand where the cross-roads are meeting. And know nut the right fmro the wrong;

No beckoning Anger directs me.

No welcome floats to me in song; But my Guide will soon give me a token.

By wilderness, mountain or.lake; Whatever the darkness about me.

“He knoweth the way that I take.”

And I knew that the way leadeth homewaid. To the land of the pure and blest.

To the country of ever-fair^summer. To the city of peace and rest;

And there shall be healing of sickness, And fountains, life's fever to slake;

What matter then, hardships and trial? “He kuoweth the way that J take.”

Dear M. B. Friend*. The above poem, sent by oar new sister,

will bring messages of comfort to matiy who read.our column, especially to th^ae whose way is overshadowed or those who are shut out from life’s activities and shat in by reason of weakness or pain.

1 often think of Janet, our “Sunshine”

member; busy^with ^her own cares and

anxities, yet planning and doing for di- rect Sunshine work, to w hich a column in the Lewiston Journcl is devoted. Yet she

kindly recognizes our'mutual interests as

sort of a sunshine branch, though we are

not directly connected with the regular Sunshine order.

How thankful we ought to be that there are some broad-minded people in the world! Oh! the pity of it—when nature is so lavish of its gifts, and the blue canopy above us is, so,far as we know, boundless in its limitations, [and the great surging mass of humanity ^has its extremes of 1

knowledge; and ignorance, of good and evil— that^there kare so many who never

look beyond the horizon of their own ex-

istence; w ho make self or selfishness the centre around which, for them, the world

revolves;|whose views and beliefs are the

only correct ones and who measure others

by their own established standards. All hail to Sunshine workers, M. B.’s,

or any other forganizat ion that has the

spirit of helpfulness and broadens the

mind, and lives^of all associated with the work.

I am receiving responses from the D.’s and E.’s, but there are a few yet to be heard from. 1 hope I shall not be obliged to call by name “Esther” or “Elma”—the latter may have changed her name, but she beionged»to us before that even; hap- I

pened. M. A. B writes: “Speaking of prohibition. j

I wi nder if Pell knows about the ext-acts and drugs that do even more damage than the straight whiskey or rura? I wish the sale of all such could be stopped. Jamaica ginger is one oOhe very worst, and though 1 find it a beneficial medicine, I will willingly go with- out it if the sale of it can be stopped. May we see better days!”

Pasadena, Cal, Feb. 9. 1909. DearlAunt [Madge.

We were glad to hear from the sister from Cloverdale, California, that she was enjoying her hollyhocks in midwinter, and hope they were not washed out by the recent heavy Jains. We.loye these swtet, old-fashioned posies, “such as grandma gave her lovers when she walked the garden through,” and their cultivation affords ns much pleasure.

Koine time ago a friend gave os some roots of the hollyhock, and we planted them under our dining-room window. There they have grown and bloomed all winter. One has out-

grown all the others and is now ten feet five inches high. Yesterday we had a severe storm which we feared woald uproot our

plant friend, for it swayed to and fno very much in the strong wind. The ttjrm being over, this morning we propped it up again, and the clusters of bright, pink flowers looked similingly in upon us as we ate our break- fast.

And now I will give you our recipe for mak- ing

Grange Makmai.de- Five oranges^and one lemon quartered and sliced crosswise; to one pi und of fruit add three pints of water; let stand twenty-four hours, then boil bnskly together for one hour; let ttaud again for twenty-four hour?: then add one pound of sugar to every pound of fruit; boil aguiu for an hour, anu while boiling, squeeze iu the juice of two lemons.

These breezes from the land of flow- ers and fruits are cheering when the March winds are sending the snow flakes whirling through the air, and the friends in those sunny climes are good to us in their thoughts, when they write, as one

did to me last week, “I wish 1 could send

you some of our oranges, that are ripe now.”

Aunt Jana, 1 tried your corn starch cake recipe this week, and it came out fine. Oh! it disappeared like the morning dew!

Melissa, Ah, and many others, do not think I have forgotten my manners. “I appreciated all your Christmas remem-

brances, though after all these months I have not seemed to find time to write per- sonal thanks. Borne tiipe you will all hear from me.

Perhaps it is a little premature to use Irish Molly’s letter now, but it is bo long since we heard from her I couldn’t seem

to wait for either the !.’■ or the M.’b to

come, before giving it to you all. Dear Aunt Madge and Sisters All:

How nice to feel that spring is coming, and soon we will see the early blossoms of spring Deeping up at us The arbutus blossoms, how beautiful they are ami how we love to look for, and gather them, and how refreshing they are to look at.

I enjoy more and more the letters in the column, and for fear 1 may not see the call for me. am sending a few lines after a long silence. In many cases “silence is golden ", it ma> be so now, at any rate I don’t think I have been missed very much, the letters have been com'.ng so fast lately.

Yes, Janet, 1 missed your letters. I knew you a little a long time ago. and have read things, or thoughts, dropped from yoor pen. that were very pleasing.

Now I want to ask if any one can send a

poem, or prose, I have seen somewhere long ago called “The Pitcher of Tears”? I don’t know who wrote it. or whether poem or prose, and as it was something very oathetic and beautiful, thought some of the members might know of it and it would appear in print again.

Do not know just where I come in on the roll call, so will this do? Irish Molly.

P. 8.—To Janet I wish to say, am glad the “silver lining” shows even a little, aud to all who may be having sorrow or trouble of any kind, I hope ail clouds may quickly pass over and thejfan may shine brightly again.

TALLEYRAND BORN IN MAINE?

Documents Partly Prove He Was Horn on Mt. Desert Island.

Was Prince de Talleyrand a native cf Maine and was he born on Mount Desert island?

The story that he was the son of a poor fisherman’* daughter, and that bis father was a French naval officer who visited the island “Just before the French war” has been current ever since Talleyrand himself went to Mount Desert in 1795 daring his exile from France.

The proof, if any, of the troth of the

story is to bo found among the mass of documentary matter in the Maine state library relating to the early history of the mate. In addition to statements made by Hon. Edward Robbins, of Boston, nearly thirty years ago, are traditions of Talley- rand’s visit to Frenchman's bay, handed down to their descendants by colonists of Mada r e La Val, founder of a refuge in the Maine wilderness for her immigrant countrymen, near what is now the site of Lamoine. Together with bis escort, Al- bert Gallatin, Talleyrand was elaborately entertained there.

line of the descendants of the colonists, Hon. John UeLaittre, of Minneapolis, Minn., recently found mention of Talley- rand's visit among some papers belonging to bis ancestors. From investigations made by him and from tbe statement of Mr. Robbins, the summary of the testi- mony is about as follows:

The Hon. Edward Robbins, of Boston, founder of Robblnston, Maine, was at the time of Talleyrand’s visit to the United States, speaker of the Massachusetts house of representatives. He made the acquaint- ance of Talleyrand during the latter’s stay in Boston and their relations became cordial and intimate.

Not long after Talleyrand had left Bos- ton, Mr. Robbins was called to Mount Desert on business, and it was at one of the small settlements on the northeastern shore, in the vicinity of Hull’s Cove, that be found the inhabitants greatly exercised to know who the stranger could be who was strolling about their locality—a lame Frenchman, of wbom nobody could learn anything. Mr. Robbins soon came upon the stranger and was greatly surprised to find that he was no other than Talleyrand, who evidently did not care to be recog- nized, declined to explain what he was

doing there, and treated Mr. Bobbins with decided coldness as well.

Madame La V al a colony of immigrants was the key to the explanation Mr. Rob- bias needed for Talleyrand’s presence in that remote place. He saw no reason why he should conceal the name of the French- man, and did not do so. Then it was that some of the old fisher folk declared that they had seen in the crippled gait of the stranger what reminded them of the “lame French boy”, who had been taken

away from the island just before the war.

Talleyrand soon disappeared, and Mr. Robbins left no stone unturned in collect- ing information about “the lame French boy”, the son of a French navel officer whose ship had come into port for repairs in 1753 or 'ol. When the boy was about a

year old the French ship and its captein had come again, and handsome provision had been made for mother and child, the father promising to return in a year or two and marry the fisherman’s daughter. But he never came back.

When the boy was less than two years old his mother overturned a kettle of hot water on his foot, crippling him tor life. She died “about the time the French war

was over”, and soon after a French gen- tleman came for the boy, saying that his father was dead, and that a rich uncle, a

fine gentleman in France, had promised the father that he would adopt the child and bring him up as his own. The grand- parents had been most unwilling to give him up, but finally consented when abun- dant provision had been assured them for the balance of their lives. The boy was

then about eight years old, the same age as the little lame boy of Talleyraud’s memories.

The grandmother mentioned in ms

memoirs was the solitary member of Tal- leyrand's family whom he had ever loved.

“I was really fondly attached to her. To this day her memory is dear to me,” he

said, suggesting to those inclined to credit the story of Mr. Robbins, that Talleyrand had really in mind the old tish wife grand- mother when he drew the picture of

Madame de Chalais, his reputed grand- mother, and of the wild, rocky shore of

Mount Desert when he wrote—'“a new

laud, the dangers of a storm, the picture of a wreck * • * all this had deep in-

terest for me.” Talleyrand’s journey from Philadelphia

to New' York, Boston, Maine and Niagara Falls in 1795-96 may be traced in the local

annals of the places he visited. That there was a plebeian stratum iu his nature

is abundantly confirmed in these local accounts, one of which records that “he ate like a glutton and talked with his mouth full”.

His own mention of his visit to the

United States is very brief. There is not a

word of his trip to Madame La Val’s colony and Frenchman’s bay, nor of Albert Gallatin. He does say. however, “a

violent storm compelled me to stop at

Machias, a seaport on the Maine coast be-

tween Mt. Desert and the St. Croix.” But in this calm and dispassionate light

of history, there are many who doubtless feel that it would be no great honor to

Mount Desert and to Maine to prove that Talleyrand was .born here. The United States owes him nothing, unless it be the

watchword his shameless demand for an

enormous bribe from our envoys, seeking peaceful relations with France in 1797, called out from Charles L. Pinckney, “Millions for defense, but not one cent

for tribute.”

“Sometimes the soil which is most rugged on the surface covers the richest veins of ore; and not (infrequently the most beau- tiful flowers are seen growing out of the crevioes of rock.”

j The One Horned Cow j [Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McClure.)

! Pencon Henderson was a meek man

who had married n shrew. Cows trou- bled the deacon’s wife. There was

t*ie cow In particular that the deacon »l ways treated with the utmost ten- derness and that his wife, per contra, always thirsted to kill on the spot. This was a one horned cow belonging to tlie Widow Glenn, in the village. At some stage in her cow career some one had knocked her right horn off in treating her as n trespasser. The dea- con's wife wanted to maim or kill that cow because the bovine bad but the one horu and because she belonged to a widow that bad once wondered bow the deacon could possibly stand it to live with such a wife. It thus came

about that there were mornings when the one horned cow came home with a

limp and a dejected attitude and other mornings when she came home with head aud tall in the air and believing that life was worth the living. It all depended on whether the deacon or his wife got up first and found her tres- passing.

Tbe one homed cow bad been what might be called a fixture (or two yean before the deacon's wife died. The conduct of the cow and the deacon’* wife had divided the aentiment of the community. There were tbe cow par- ty and the anti-cow party, and both of them were provided with powerful ar- ! guments to sustain their positions. The wife was several days in dying. When she had given directions about all oth- er things, even to having the barrel of soft soap moved to a shady spot, she ■aid to her husband:

"And now. Job, I want to talk about that one horned cow. I hoped to live long enough to kill her, but Provi- dence has ordered otherwise. I go, and she stays, bat I want you to prom- ise to make It hot for her. Knock off her other born. Break her neck. Spare her not. Have no further mercy on her because she Is tbe cow of a wid- ow. I can’t die easy unless yon prom- ise me. Ton will probably find her la the cornfield the day of my funeral. Don't mind me. but get out and go for the cow. Chase her ten times around the lot and break both her hind legs.**

It was against the grain, but the deacon wiped the tears from bis eyes and promised, and it Is due him to say that for a month after the funeral he did hLs beet to carry out the promises. He didn’t find the cow trespassing every morning when he turned out of bed. She put In some of her nights elsewhere. When he did find her he clubbed and stoned and raised bumps and lumps on various parts of ber body. There came a day. however, when he let up on this. Tbe one horn- ed cow looked at him so mournfully and reproachfully that he couldn’t throw another rock. She seemed to beg and appeal to him to give her a

show, and be simply pulled up a tall cornstalk by tbe roots and used it as a

gad to drtTe her to the highway. For tbe next two months the one horned

I cow lived on the fat of tbe laud and I exulted ever other cows with more

horns. Then Deacon Henderson found himself IP a quandary between his dead wife and the living cow. He had made certain promises to a dying wo-

man. He had failed to break that cow’s neck Instead of so doing hs was treating her with all lovo and gentleness. This fact began to worry the good man. He grew thin over It. and he Was yet undecided when the minister cf his church called one aft- ernoon. Here was tbe opportunity to unburden himself, and It was taken advantage of. The minister heard bim through without a word and then said:

‘•I am s-irprlsed that sister Hender- son earrirtl such a feeling to the grave with her. I wish you had not prom- ised what yon did. and yet it would be unnatural for you to carry out those

promises. You have probably tried to

arenk that tow's neck?” “For three or four weeks I tried my

best.” was the answer. “You didn't even succeed In knock-

ing the other horn off?" “No. It'S there yet.” “And yoh broke none of her legs?” “Not a ley.” “Well, theta, you have tried and fail-

ed. It is not your fault that you have failed, but you had better stop right tbere. Something is owing to cows es

well as to the departed. On the other band, the Widow Glenn, knowing that her one bo-ned cow is a botheration ind a damage to you. has no right to

let her ruo at large and to be defiant

| ibout it. Neither can she reasonably expect thy*, you will contiuue to treat her animal with the mercy and tender- ness you do.”

“But there ought to be some w«y »ut of it,” »ald the deacou.

“Yes. thnbe ought. Suppose you wyre

lo eali on the widow and talk things >ver in a friendly way.”

“But abe might turn me outdoors •’

“I will see her first I think you will find her gentle and amiable. Yes. I am

lure you will.” A month later the deacon called. The

one horned cow was discussed frifta the tip of her one horn to the tip of her ragged tall, but without acrimony. Six montPs after that, as the couple Jrove up tc- the house after a visit to

ihe preacher's that made them man

ind wife, the old cow wa* at the gate to greet them.

“What aft we going to do with her?” aakttf the deacon.

“Have he- in the beef barrel afore tomorrow night,” answered the bride. “We ain’t a-going to take m> chances in a one horned cow bringing us to-

gether and then hooking us afcart." M. 6uaj».

KITTKKY TO C\ltl#IO*

Warren Ingersoll, aged twenty years, was killed by a bursting flywheel at the lath mill of Ross & Perry, Columbia, last Wednesday.

The steamer Horatio Hall, of the Port- land-New York line, and the steamer H. F. Dimock, New York to Boston, collided in a fog on Nantucket shoals last Wednes-

day. The Hall was sunk in twenty-two feet of water, and the Diinock was

beached, after the few* passengers were

taken off the Hall. The captain and crew

stayed by the Hall twenty-four hours, but

Anally abandoned her. It is doubtful if she can be saved.

By the explosion of a stationary en-

gine boiler at the Rich icehouse of tho American Ice Co. in Farmingdale near Gar diner Monday forenoon, two men lost their lives and two others were injured. Those killed were Ralph F. hid ley, ag d tw »nfe.y-sev<30, engineer, of Litchfi >11, un

l’otato Raising. Again we wish to call attention to

tbe meetings to be held at Hancock hall on Thursday, March 25, at which tbe subject of potato-raising in Han- cock county is to be discussed in all its phases.

These meetings are to be held tinder the auspices of the Ellsworth board of trade, and conducted by Maine’s commissioner of agriculture, Mon. A. W. Oilman. Mr. Oilman will

bring with him Mr. O. B. Griffin, of

Oaribon, a successful Aroostook

county farmer. Other speakers, whose names we cannot give this

week, will also be present. We do not understand that Aroos-

took county has ever claimed to hold a mortgage on or own a patent for

potato-raising—tbe industry which bas made it famous and prosperous. The people of that county have

■imply made tbe raising of potatoes • leading industry by the application of modern and scientific methods to farming, and we believe that a

similar application of similar methods to thousands of acres of land in Han- cock county1, fit for raising potatoes, but now worked to little purpose or to

bo purpose at all. might be made to

grow this staple on a large and profita- ble scale.

The few farmers in this county who have gone into the business on any considerable scale are more than sat-

isfied with the results; indeed, it is to their enthusiasm that this meeting is to some extent due; and it is to be hoped that through this meeting this enthusiasm may permeate the entire community. The development of the industry is of tremendous importance t!o this section, for it means invest- j qkent of capital, employment of labor, ;

increased values of farm properties, tbe bollding of storehouses, more

business for teams and the railroad, better roads, the extension of the telephone, and in a thousand ways tbe betterment of general conditions.

It is to be hoped that the distin- guished gentlemen who are to pres- j ent a subject of such vital interest to this community will be greeted with an audience which will pack Hancock ball. Remember the date, March 25.

In another column we print an article entitled, “For the Public Good,” ehowing the work accom-

plished and planned by the Ellsworth Village improvement society. It gives a fair idea of the excellent work

a*, ■'which is being done by this society, * Teed gives assurance to out-of-town

contributors to tbe fund that the money contributed is being well and carefully expended.

Members of Castine and neighboring granges in a meeting last week, after a

was of more value on a farm than a wheel- barrow. This is certainly encouraging. The woman is fast coming into her own.

The longest deed ever recorded at the Hancock county registry of deeds is now in the hands o' Kegister-of-lleeds W. O. Emery. It is deed in trust and mortgage Irom the American Ice Co. tothe Knicker- bocker Trust Co., of New Y'ork city. It is •etimated that the deed contains 31,141 r words and will make about 125 pages in tbe records. This deed must be recorded in every county in which the ice company owns property, and in the clerk’s oflice of every town or city in which the property is located. When it is stated that the fee lor recording the deed in the Hancock county registry alone is $16.50, it will tie seen that the cost of recording it in all the counties and towna will be enormous— something tike $3,000. it is estimated.

He spoke against the measure, saying that be doubted its consti- tutionality. Sen. Walker then moved that the Senate accept the report of the Judici- ary committee, “ought to pass,” on the bill, and that the bill be given its first reading which was done. 8?n.

Superintendent of schools, $500. APPROPRIATIONS.

The question of appropriations was

then taken up. The board seemed pretty well agreed ou all the items in the budget, the only fund on which there was serious

division being that of highways. It was agreed to appropriate $1,500 for

the new road on west side of Leonard take. This sum was not thought sufficient to properly complete the building of the road, bat it will pat it in passable condi- tion, and it waa thought the city could not this year afford to expend more on it.

In regard to the appropriations lor other highway wotk, opinions of the board ranged from $4,000 to $8,000, Aider- men Stock bridge, Estey and Small favor- ing a small appropriation, and Alderman Hagan and Hamilton a large appropria- tion. The sum oi $4,500 waa finally agreed upon.

The budget was tben given its first reading and laid over until a reoeas meet-

ing for second reading and final passage. The budget as tentatively agreed upon, is as follows, the appropriations for 1008 being given for comparison:

$40,500 $15,478 OTHER BUSINESS.

A communication wan read from the State department of agriculture, staling that that department had sufficient evi- dence that Ellsworth is infected with the brown-tail moth, and calling the atten- tion of the city government to the law

requiring the city to take steps to exter- minate the pests. Alderman SmaU was

made a committee of one to investigate the matter and report at the next meeting.

The bond of Street Commissioner bred B. Harden for $300, with John F. Whit- comb and B. S. Jeilison as sureties, was

accepted and placed on tile. A contract under which K. M. Campbell

agrees to pay ?2 per night for use of Han- cock hall throughout the year, when not rented by the city to other shows or en- tertainments, was read, and the mayor was authorized to execute a contract in behalf of the city. Th° city retains con- trol of the ha!!, but it is stipulated m the contract presented that it shall not l»e rented to other moving-picture shows. Mr. Campbell proposes to move his mov- ing picture show to the hall.

A recess w as taken to Mondav evening, March 29.

POST OFFICE EXTENSION.

Plans Being Made—Work May Begin This summer.

Last Monday a representative of the of- fice of the supervising architect at Wash- ington was in the city after details of the work of building the proposed extension of the postoffice at Ellsworth.

Through the efforts of Senator Hale and Congressman Burleigh, an appropri- ation of fl2,000 was made by the last Con- gress, this sum to include the acquisition of land necessary for the new building as well as the cost of the building itself.

The work provides for an extension of the present building southward on Water street on the lot now occupied by County Supply Co. It w ill more than doable the area of the work-room in the office, and will provide ample room for the accom- modation not only of the present force of rural free delivery carriers, but also for the force of city delivery carriers as soon as tha city delivery system is estab- lished at this office.

It is expected that the plans will be ready to submit to contractors for bids in about three months; another month will probably be consumed in securing bids. It is hoped that the work of construction can begin by Augusta, so that all the out- side work can be completed before cold weather sets in next fall.

OBITUARY.

JAMffi A. DAVIS. This community was shocked last Tues-

day morning on learning of the death at

his country home in Lexington, Mass., of James A. Davis, of Boston, formerly of

this city. Mr. Davis was taken seriously iil while in New York last November

attending the horse show After re-

maining there a week, he returned to his

home in Lexington, whence he went to

Atlantic City. Receiving no perceptible benefit there,

he returned home a fevr weeks ago, and the end came last Monday evening, at bis t>eautiful home in Lexington where he had lived for the past ten years.

| Mr. Davis was born in Hurry, a son of James W. and Margaret Davis. The family moved to Ellsworth in the early (Ms, the

I father having been elected register of I deeds of Hancock county, j Mr. Davis was twice married. His first wife died some six years ago, and about three years ago he married Margaret (lately, of Boston, who, with one child, a daughter, survives him. He is also sur-

I vived by three brothers— W. Howard, of | Bar Harbor; Henry E., of Ellsworth, and I Dr. Frederick A., of Boston, and one sis-

; ter—Mrs. Abbie D. Partridge, of Boston. Anotbtr brother—George W., died in De- eember, 1907.

Apart from his business, in which be

| was highly successful, he became intensely interested in masonic and military affairs. At the time of his death he was captain of the Ancient and Honorable artillery com-

pany, of Boston. He was past illuatrious commander-in-chief of the Massachusetts consistory of sublime princes of the royal secret, 32d degree of P. and A. M. He was

a member of Esoteric lodge (now Lygonia) of Masons, of Ellsworth, and of many ma-

sonic bodies in Boston. Mr. Davis was

also a member of the leading social clubs of that city.

In the early ’70s Mr. Davis went to Bos- ton, and became a clerk In a book-store. Boon afterwards he became associated with the house of Wadsworth A Howland, in the paint and varnish business. In 1880 he became private secretary to Col. W. H. Darling, of Bluehill, and remained there for a year. He later entered the employ of the American agents in New York city for an English varnish house. In 1880 he entered business for himself, establishing the house of Deming, Devi* A Co., whole- sale coal and coke.

He soon after bought out his partner. Col. Deming, and entered into partnership with Hon. H. N. Fisher, of Waltham, which partnership still remains, under the firm name of James A. Davis A Co.

Capt. Davis was one of the first to rec-

ognize the possibilities of American Port- land cement, and introduced in New Eng- land the first cement made by the rotary cylinder process.

In this business, which he built up him- self, he did some of the most important work m New Eugland.

Cpto four years ago Oapt. Davis was

widely known throughout the conntry for his extensive dog kennels. He bred and owned some of the costliest and best types of Boston terriors in the land.

The funeral is to be at the home in Lexington to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock.

CLARFNCB SMITH.

Clarence, son of Ames Smith and wife,! of the Barry road, died at the East Maine 1

general hospital in Bangor last Thursday, after a long illness of tuberculoeis. He was in the twenty-second year of his age. Clarence was for some time employed in the barber shop of Joseph W. Nealley, un-

til compelled to give up work on account1 of illness. He had a great many friends iu Ellsworth. The parents have the sym- pathy of all in this, their second bereave- ment within a month, their son Eugene, aged twenty-three, dying Feb. 17 last. Another son was killed by a fall at Bar Harbor three years ago. The funeral was

held at the home .Sunday, many Ellsworth friends attending. Rev. P. A. A. Killam officiated.

Stonlngtou's Italians Assault Officer.

Deputy Sheriff Paul W. Scott, of Deer Isle, who has been making it unusually dry for the Italians at Stonington, had a

lively mix-up with twenty-five or more of them last Saturday. Deputy Sheriff Scott has not allowed much liquor to escape him, and the Italians planned that they would not allow him to seize the next con-

signment. When Mr. Scott went to the wharf last

Saturday, a crowd of Italiuus was on hand. He was not deterred by the show of re-

sistance, however, and tried to seize sev-

eral kegs of beer. The freight house em-

ployees and truckman promptly locked themselves in the freight house and left Mr. Scott to fight it out alone. The odds were too great, however, and the Italians finally got away with the beer.

Sheriff Silsby and Deputy Sheriff Brann, of Ellsworth, went to Stonington Sunday, and by Monday night had rounded up six Italians, only three of whom could be pos- itively identified as engaged in the as-

sault. They were arraigned before Judge Spofford at Stonington Monday, and sen-

tenced to sixty days in county jail and fine of |35 each and costs. Sheriff Silsby returned home Monday night. Deputy Sheriff Brann arrived with the three Italians last night. They are Grantonio Di Biasse, Emilio Lunchi and Xiccolo Ferrante.

ished Former residents responded gen- " asiy to the letter arot out by the

#n,,iw committee, and from this source

siSii was received. 1(ll, work accomplished last season was

helpful in diverse ways. The society, real-

izing that Ihe city government has over-

whelming demands upon its treasury, has

endeavored to supplement the work of the

commissioner. To this end, fJ64 was expended upon the sides of the streets

in greatly needed w ork which improved „„ly the appearance of the town.

Trt have been planted, useless, dis-

jcputsble buildings razed to the ground,

cld neglected cellars Ailed, drains and

culverts built, and very important work

gccompiishod by the sanitary committee

in caring (or old refuse and cleaning un-

slighlly, unsanitary spots. Permanent snd effective work was ren-

dered ]>■ ssihle on Hancock street, by the

projicrty owners contributing very nearly t> lor every one expended by the society. g,nH. ,.f the property was owned out of

and enhanced the value of the property. Thia is referred to hoping it may atimulate other streets to make similar attempts the coning season. It only requires a lit-

j tie push and persistency. | A much discussed question—one which, | like the poor, we have always with us—

j what 'treets, or what neighborhood shall receive the greater amount of money and attention?

The executive committee will take in their own hands any great, crying need, mu the problem usually solves itself by persons on the streets coming forward with definite plans and earnestness of purpose.

The largest single piece of work last year was upon Grant street, a street nearly in the centre of the city, plainly visible from the library and other public build- ings, which in former years has received very little attention from our city fathers. It was especially chosen on account of the new dam, new' lake and new road, with the belief many strangers, some with comraerciaj interests in view, would visit i that locality. Here agnin the society re- :

ceived financial aid, from the lumber com- ! pany, the power company and individual1 owners of property. The residents proved I their interest by giving time and labor.

lhe society offered the city government j a generous contribution ot moiie;. towards replacing that dilapidated board walk on i Main street from Oak street to the rail- \

road, with concrete, but the city was not able to do it last year. Main street is our

principal thoroughfare, with its grand old elms and well-kept lawns through which all strangers and friendly visitors must needs pass, and we are extremely de- sirous this short stretch of concrete may be built this season. The Main street di- vision would gladly work for this object. The branch divisions, working independ-

ently of the central society, raised dur- *ing last year (343. Some divisions have spent theirs for much-needed work; others have carefully husbanded theirs for an

increase to spend on some special work. Oak, Park and Lincoln streets have or-

ganized and undertaken a great piece of labor-beginning at the Unitarian church, to straighten the line ot Oak street, grade and beautify the sides. They raised over

| (100 last season.

All money raised, either by the central- society or the branches, is tor the sole and

express purpose ot benefiting, improving and beautifying our beautiful town. There is neither salary nor perquisites at- tached; it is all a laoor of love for the public good.

LAKHWOOD.

Mrs. Emetine Garland is out again. William Garland and wife, of Green

Lake, were here Sunday. Howard Rollins is here on a vacation

County Rond Mooting. A county rood meeting will be held it

the county court house in Ellsworth, Thursday, April 1, at 1 p. m.

The comment has been very general that last year’s State road work was consider* ably better than that of any previous year, and State Highway Commissioner Sargent considers tnis is a direct result of the county road meetings.

It is hoped that selectmen and road com*

missioners will make an effort to attend this year’s meeting. If there is any par* ticular topic they would like to have dis- cussed, they are requested to write Com- missioner Sargent in advance. In this way it will be possible to have the discussion cover just tne points which those in attendance desire to have brought out.

Kidney Troubles.

If you suffer from backache—

From urinary disorders —

From any disease of the kidneys. Bo cured to stay cured.

Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting cures.

Ellsworth people testify. Here's one case of it:

N. B. Jellison, Water St., Ellsworth, j Me., says: “1 gave a testimonial some! three years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney I fills, after they had cured me of a stub-

born case of kidney complaint. I car,

Only add to-day that the cure then effected j has been permanent. My case, before

Ming Doan’s Kidney Pilla, was so severe j that I was laid op for several days almost helpless. There was a constant pain in

any back, and at times an almost complete retention of the kidney secretions took

place. As before said, four boxes of J)oen’a Kidney Pills cured me, and I be- lieve that the remedy is worthy of my endorsement.” Mora local cases of this Kind can be learned of at Moore’s drug Mora.”

The things which our weak Judgment here have spurned

The things o’er which we grieved with lashes wet—

Wgi flash before as oat of l!ffe*s dark aight Aa stars shine most in deeper tints of bine;

And we shall see that all God's ways were

right. And how wbst seemed reproof was love

most true.

NORTH PENOBSCOT. Reuben Devereux and wife, of Ca stine,

spent Sunday with Mrs. Devereux’s pa- rents, J. M. Hutchins and wife.

Highland grange was \ianned and run

entirely by the young people Prtday even-

ing. This is one way the grange take to educate its younger members to takes an

interest in and fit themselves for the work of the grange.

P.d ward Witham and wife, two of Orland’s well-know n young people, have recently moved into their residence on the Brown place, purchased some weeks ago. Members of Highland grange, which they have recently joined, conceived the idea of giving them a house-warming, so on

Thursday these arch patrons to the num-

ber of thirty-six swarmed on iheir vic- tims iu a body. The evening was spent in

songs and games. A handsome Rocking- chair was presented to the young couple as a token of friendship and good-will. Mrs. Millie Ames, with an exceptionally fine voice, rendered several songs in a way that elicited the most enthusiastic applause. Ice-cream and cake were served, and at a late hour the party dispersed, after a happy evening.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL DORMITORY. North Penobscot has and will continue

no doubt to send her quota of students to the norma! school at Castine, and there is interest here in the prospective dormitory to be erected there. Will it tend to draw more students? Will they be better housed, fed, managed and educated, and will this be done at less cost to the poor students who will be obliged to resort to the most rigid economy to pull through?

They have up to this time, for the most

part, boarded in clubs, and the institu- tion has been singularly free from board- ing-house tfcandals that have resulted in

injury to other institutions of learning. We have never heard there was a scarcity of/boarding places or there was much dis- satisfaction with the club system.

It now costs the student from $2 to $2.50 per week, as near as we can ascertain, ex-

clusive of fuel and light, for such accommo-

dation as they may elect. The number of students bas diminished rather than in- creased with the increase of normal schools and the increasing desire for other occupations than teaching prevailing among the girls of to-day.

Many widows and other residents of Castine of limited means, who have fur- nished board to students, will teel the

change, and less money will be gener- ally distributed among the citizens of Castine in the future than heretofore.

Will it be better for the morals and education of the body of students to be housed under one roof or separated into

congenial clubs as now? It will cost the State more; will it cost the student more

or less with the same degree of satisfac- tion? These are some of the simple ques- tions that rise among interested people who are ignorant o( running such insti- tutions.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, ; discourages and lessens ambition; beauty,

ness soon disappear when the kidneys are

out of order or dis- eased.

Kidney trouble lias

I become so prevalent that it is not nncom-

^ mon for a chilli tp be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the

fbild urinates too often, it tnc unne seams

fbe flesh, or if, when the child reaches an

age when it should be able to coqtfol the

passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet- ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi- culty is kidney trouble, and the first

step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased conditi6n of the kidneys and bladder and not to n

habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made itr.ser-

able with kidney and bladder trouble, and bot’’ need the same great remedy The mild and the immediate effect of

Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is solo by druggists, in fifty- cent and one-dollar

; size bottles. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a

MURDER AMD SUICIDE.

lucksport Mm Cut# HI* Wife’* Throat and Then HI* Owa.

Bncksport wa* startled Monday fore-

iood by a murder and suicide occurring n the business centre of the Tiling*. Ray- nond Heath, aged seventy-three year*, rat hi* wife’s throat with a rasor, and hen cut hi* own throat. Quarrel* be-

tween husband and wife extending over

leveral years culminated in the tragedy. There wa* no eye witne«eto the tragedy,

t>et the story is apparently told very ;learly by the circumstances surrounding [he tragedy.

Heath, who waa a native of Penobscot, was a widower with several grown-up chil- dren when, some thirteen years ago, he

married the widow of Alden Harriman, of Orland, who also usd several children.

The marriage was an unfortunate one.

Almost from the first there were quarrels, separations, reconciliations and new

quarrels. On February 5 last Mrs. Heath had her

husband arrested for assault anil battery, testifying in the Western Hancock munic-

ipal court that he hsd knocked her down, beaten her and threatened her life with a

revolver. Heath was sentenced to sixty days in jail, bat mittimus was suspended during good behavior. Mrs. Heath insti- tuted divorce proceedings.

Since this quarrel Heath has been living in s boarding hoose, while Mrs. Heath

kept house for two of her sons who

worked in the tannery. About 9 o’clock Monday morning, after

calling at the poslofficc and several stores, Mr. Heath went to his wife’s home.

From this point the story of the tragedy is told in blood. It is apparent that Heath found bis wife alone in the kitchen, wash-

ing dishes. Pools of blood showed that here the murder took place.

The first knowledge of the tragedy to those outside the house was when Mm. I Heath was seen to stagger from the house i and start toward a neighbor’s. Blood was ! streaming from her throat. Bbe was alive j when the first to see her reached her, and | with assistance started back toward her | own home, but fell dead before reaching i the door.

Inside the house blood stains led from the kitchen upstairs to a chamber, aud here, stretched on the floor, was found Heath, dead, with his throat cut, and a

razor near his hand. Coroner E. L. Bagley and County-Attor-

ney W. C. Conary were called, and after a

brief investigation decided that it was a

plain case of murder and suicide and no

legal action was demanded. Mrs. Heath was fifty-six years of age, a

native of Orland, her maiden name being Fannie Saunders. Her first husband. Ai- de n Harriman, died about sixteen years ago. She leaves two sons—Harold and Webster Harrunan, who lived *ith her, and four daughters —Mrs. (ieorge Abbott, of Brewer, Mrs. Arthur Berry, of Rock- port, Mm. Fred Blaisdell and Mrs. How- ard Johnson, of Orland. She also leaves three sisters and three brothers-Mrs. Lu- ella Woodbury, of Ellsworth, Mrs. John
